Violence 

However, before the Sunyani East Municipal Returning Officer, Jona Seli,  announced the results, some young people believed to be the supporters of the NDC stormed the collation centre to attacked Electoral Commission (EC) officials for delaying the announcement of election results.

The agitators forced open the main entrance of the University of Ghana (CUG) College of Education Learning Centre to access the collation center, causing further damage. They clashed with security personnel and shattered the facility's sliding windows, prompting the EC to announce the parliamentary results.

It was only after swift intervention from security forces that the agitators were stopped from causing more destruction.

Realizing the escalating tension, the EC decided to declare the parliamentary results to calm the angry youth, allowing them to leave so that the collation of the presidential results could continue.

The protesters expressed frustration over the EC’s inability to complete the collation process since Saturday, December 6. They pointed out that nearly all constituencies in the region had announced their results, except for Sunyani East.

In total, 116,982 registered voters were expected to vote across 260 polling centers, including special voting locations in the area.
